The Monastery of Santa María la Real de Oseira is located in the parish of Oseira (municipality of San Cristovo de Cea, Ourense), about 34 km from the city of Ourense and near the borders with Pontevedra and Lugo. Founded in 1137 by a group of hermits, it joined the Cistercian Order of Clairvaux in 1141. During the 12th and early 13th centuries, its main church was built, becoming one of the largest Cistercian monasteries in Spain. In 1552, a fire devastated the complex, but the church survived and retains an elegant, understated architectural style.
